Gymnastics Update

Just an update on Elaina's gymnastics class. First of all, she LOVES it (to say the least). She gets so excited when we tell her she gets to go that day. She has really come a long way and we can tell her strength and coordination is improving because of it. Here are some shots we took recently....

Doing stretches - in this pic she walks her hands out like a spider and then stomps the spiders. Super fun if you're 2 years old

Butterfly stretches - she always tell her teacher her butterfly is pink

Ankle stretches

Crawling through the tunnel - just a cute pic


Doing the scary bear crawl...

Balance beam - update on this... she would not do the balance without holding someone's hand. Here she is thinking about doing it without help but she did not. I even tried the bribing method (my sister likes to call bribery "behavioral motivation"). She said "no" to my bribe. oh well. But, about 10 minutes later, while no one was looking, she did it. She was so excited and proud of herself. We were proud too....

Swinging from the bar....

Here is a short video of her doing what they call "skin the cat".........
